First of I would go with the tutorials to give you a feel of things.


I have been hitting the books over the last week or so, but yes, the tutorials have been very helpfull so far.

you're probably the only one that will ever get such a long welcome rom me


And I appreciate it. Thanks!

At this point, I have decided to either design a 2-stage (level, whatever) FPS, or a multi-stage 2D (or 2D with 3D graphics) arcade game. According to you guies, they are the easiest to start out with, so that is what I will do. Thank you all, and between the tutorials, manual, acknex, AUM's, and this forum, I am sure I will be able to start out on the right foot!

as helpful as Guitar's advice is, i'd recommend doing lite-C as opposed to C-script, because it's basically the same (no harder at all, really) but much more freedom, more power, and you'll want to be using that later on anyway. that's assuming you have a7.


Actually, I bought gamestudio a long time ago, but never actually started using it. I dont currently have A7, and unless I really get into it, I probably wont get it. So, its C-Script for me!

Thank you all again.
